PAGCOR announces final call for photo contest


With only three weeks left before the July 31 deadline, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation calls all photography enthusiasts to submit their final entries for the 2024 PAGCOR Photography Contest, which will be themed "Harvest Time."


Interested amateur and professional photographers have until 10 p.m. on July 31 to submit their entries, which should highlight the Filipinos' strength, patience, and hard work during harvest season.


The images may also depict the dedication of farmers, fishers, and other workers who harvest crops and seafood to ensure the country's food production and sustainability.


"We invite all those who have not yet submitted their entries to start uploading them now through the PAGCOR website as the submission deadline draws nearer," PAGCOR xhairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said.


The PAGCOR chief said the agency had allocated a total of P2.23 million for this year's cash prizes, which will honor Filipino photographers' outstanding work and promote the country's rich traditions.

The contest's main categories are Conventional for photos taken using all types of digital cameras, Mobile for entries taken using mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, and Drone—a newly added category—for aerial photos taken using drone-mounted cameras.


Each of the eight winners from the Conventional Category is ensured of a P100,000.00 cash prize, while each of the 16 winners from the drone and mobile categories will take home P50,000.00 each," Tengco said.


"We are also giving P35,000.00 to each of the eight consolation prize winners from the Conventional Category and Php20,000.00 to each of the 16 grand finalists from the Drone and Mobile categories," the PAGCOR chief added.


PAGCOR has also lowered the age eligibility from 18 to 16 to encourage more participation, especially among the youth.
